Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

September Monthly Quality Rollup (KB5005633) installed without issue.
No SSU was released this month.

Thanks to the team for another smooth update.

(Win7 Ultimate x64 on old Core 2 Duo E8400)

 

thanks guys!

 

Installing the September Monthly Quality Rollup (KB5005633) throws me the 80073712 Error Code. I have the BypassESUv11 installed and I managed to install all the security stacks and rollups from a few months ago without any problems. Why is it giving me this error now?

 

Run sfc/scannow with admin rights and restart the computer, then try again windows update.

 

It returned with "Windows Resource Protection Found Corrupt Files But Was Unable To Fix Some Of Them". I restarted and tried Windows Update again and it still gave the same error code. Tried doing CHKDSK and doing sfc /scannow then running Windows Update again, and it still returned with the 80073712 error. I've installed all previous security stacks and rollups before with no issues, but this September one won't budge.

 

re-install windows

 

Moin @ All!

My September 2021 ESUpdate experience for Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 systems:

"Licensing method": KB4528069 & BypassESU-v11

KB5005563 (Cumulative Security Update for IE 11 for Windows 7 SP1) -> succesfully installed

KB5005615 (Security Only Quality Update for Windows 7 SP1) -> succesfully installed

@ abbodi1406: Thx for your support! Great job!

 

It sure looks that way. But do I really have no other choice than reinstalling Windows?

 

Try this:
-stop windows update service
-go to SoftwareDistribution\DataStore folder and delete everything in it
-restart windows update service
-try again

 

If you have an earlier recovery point, try a recovery at an earlier date ?

 

I've tried this now and sadly it didn't work. Still gives the 80073712 error code

I tried it earlier and it didn't work too. It's a bummer that I can't install the September rollup but any other update/rollup works.

 

i had this problem over a year ago. it seems tthe update is stucked. i solved it by installing the using the latest simplix pack 7 which contained the rollup that i had problem.wait for the new release of the simplix and try

Noted. I'll try this out once the new version of Simplix Pack 7 is released, thank you.

 

The new ve

The new version is available now (I am downloading it as I type)...

 

On my six Win7 machines, after a 100% smooth August updates experience, it was back on the roller coaster last night.

I'm quite certain it has nothing to do with the wonderful Bypass but is somehow a combination of M$'s poor testing and the setups of my various machines.

Yet again, my most sincere thanks to the devs for all you've done.

 

haven't had any need to competely re-install in years because I have backups on external HD at hand.

Did you try to create an uptodate ISO and perform an inplace/repair upgrade? Should save you the trouble of setting all up again.

 

Strange one going on for me here.

I use a windows 7 VM for running some software on occasion that doesnt play nice with windows 10. I also use the VM as a sort of sandbox for testing things using snapshots too.

Today i fired it up and its not activated anymore, but is still installing ESU updates fine. I cant activate it either. Ive tried about 5 different known good keys (mix of OEM, Retail and a VL) none of them work. I have also tried taking it offline and doing phone activation (getcid). The phone activation generates a code and says it was successful, but when i input it into the wizard it tells me its wrong. Strange.
